shipping in animated DC/Marvel shows

This thread is for ships in the various animated series, current and past, based on DC or Marvel characters. I'll start by listing a few that I'm a fan of. The first two ship names are already commonly used, the third doesn't have a name so I gave it one.

Young JusticeSpitfireShipping - Wally/Kid Flash & Artemis
Just a fantastic pairing. It's that old typical story about kids teasing each other because they really like each other but have trouble showing it for whatever reason, and it's terrifically done in this series. The name comes from advice from an elderly man who had spoken fondly of his "spitfire", his late wife. He told Wally, "Find your own little spitfire. One who won't let you get away with nothin'."

ChalantShipping - Dick/Robin/Nightwing & Zatanna
This one is just plain cute. Robin was practically drooling over Zatanna when he first met her, and she clearly didn't mind. In this series, Robin has a tendency to play with words, and when he nervously told Zatanna, "I'm trying to be all nonchalant here," she smiled and responded, "Why? Be as chalant as you like." Hence the ship name.

Green Lantern: The Animated SeriesAIShipping - Razer & Aya
If you've seen this series, even if you aren't a shipper, I'm sure you'll agree that their interactions are fascinating. Here's a guy who's a former villain and now trying to do good, and a girl who technically isn't even a girl, but an AI who is learning about things like emotions, values, and heroism. She's proven to be human--er, alien...er, you know what I mean--in every way that matters. Seeing a character that's supposed to be a soulless machine have as profound an effect on a literally rage-powered former villain as Aya has is intriguing.

Anyone else here support these or other ships from DC/Marvel shows? Discuss!

Yeah the Robin/Starfire ship was done really well too. I have mixed feelings about Batman/Talia. I prefer him with Catwoman or Wonder Woman.

Its always hard to pair Batman up because his relationships always doom to fail. There's a reason why in Batman Beyond it seems like Bruce never did get married or have any children. He's just a bitter old man.

I just do not see any chemistry between them in the tv show (the comic maybe, but not the show). In the Teen Titans animated series, Robin barely spends any time with her (maybe 3 or 4 times. unless it is also with everyone else), he cannot even realize when he is hurting her (see the episode "haunted"), he has never shown her his real eyes (or anyone for that matter), he hasn't even told her his real name!

Yeah, a lot of trust in this relationship... (sarcasm)

Although, I don't like this pairing mostly because of my crossover ship; Link&Starfire (and the fact that I've had a crush on her since I was 13). I get ticked off though that it seems a lot of people seem to treat Starfire like she's an extension of Robin, the idea that you cannot have her without him. Lets face it, practically anyone who ships Robin&Starfire only do so because Robin is involved. And anyone who says that "they were destined for each other", (*in demonic voice*) has no idea what destiny even means! (...okay that is mostly jealousy talking, but still...)

""You know, you fight pretty well… for a thief." He told me while still trying to catch his breath.
